Gruber’s antique shop, and embarks upon a series of odd jobs to buy it. While searching for the perfect present for his beloved Aunt Lucy’s 100th birthday, Paddington spots a unique pop-up book in Mr. The much-anticipated sequel to the worldwide hit family film finds Paddington happily settled with the Brown family in Windsor Gardens, where he has become a popular member of the community, spreading joy and marmalade wherever he goes.

That said there is a plethora of famous faces from the British acting fraternity that includes Sanjev Bhaskar, Ben Miller, Jessica Hynes, Jim Broadbent, Tom Conti, Peter Capaldi, Eileen Atkins and a funny cameo from Simon Farnaby who kids will know from the excellent TV series Horrible Histories. If anything that is one of the faults of the film in that the recently Oscar nominated Sally Hawkins ( The Shape of Water), Hugh Bonneville w ( Viceroy’s House) – ( who you can see introduce the film on the AnyGoodFilms YouTube channel) and especially Julie Walters are barely given a look in. Perhaps more importantly it’s a testament to the light comedy genius of Hugh Grant playing a foppishly vain faded actor, the villainous Phoenix Buchanan, who all but steals the film effortlessly outshining the rest of the cast with ease. Farnaby was also behind the comedy magic of Mindhorn one of last year’s best comedies and brings the surreal humour to the sequel.
